PURPOSE: Cancer stage, one of the most important prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival, is often documented in narrative form in electronic health records (EHRs). Such documentation results in tedious and time-consuming abstraction efforts ...
BACKGROUND: Tumour markers are standard tools for the differential diagnosis of cancer. However, the occurrence of nonspecific symptoms and different malignancies involving the same cancer site may lead to a high proportion of misclassifications. Cla...
PURPOSE: Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is used after surgery to prevent recurrence or metastases. However, ACT for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still controversial. This study aimed to develop prediction models to distinguish who is suitable f...

INTRODUCTION: Port-site metastasis is an extremely rare event in patients with cancer treated with robotic-assisted surgery. However, as robotic procedures are increasing, the incidence of port-site metastases might also increase. The purpose of our ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the PET Assisted Reporting System (PARS) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients without distant metastasis, and to investigate the prognostic significance of the metabolic parameters.
Deep learning models are increasingly being implemented for automated medical image analysis to inform patient care. Most models, however, lack uncertainty information, without which the reliability of model outputs cannot be ensured. Several uncerta...
Palliative care is known to improve quality of life in advanced cancer. Natural language processing offers insights to how documentation around palliative care in relation to metastatic cancer has changed. We analyzed inpatient clinical notes using u...
BACKGROUND: Progression-free survival (PFS) is a crucial endpoint in cancer drug research. Clinician-confirmed cancer progression, namely real-world PFS (rwPFS) in unstructured text (ie, clinical notes), serves as a reasonable surrogate for real-worl...
